Ever Wondered Plume Or Mold

[SvilleKid]

If the mold is surface only, and not up into the tobacco of the foot, wipe it down with a cloth that has a little alcohol (I have used vodka successfully in the past), then let it air out. Vodka is very close to odorless, and you don't need the cloth wet, just moist. If you get sunshine for a day or so, let the sunlight hit it. Mold doesn't like the sun either.

I keep a very close watch on the Anejo's I have in my coolers, because they seem more prone than any others to mold up.

I'm comfortable wiping it off and torching it, no mold on the foot.

I also agree on this, provided maybe you snip 1/8 inch off the foot and it's CLEAN,
then wipe it off, wipe it again with vodka, then smoke it. I thought it must surely be under
the cedar wrap. And what I am REALLY saying is that I still would not smoke it, but
for YOU, if you see a clean foot and you remove all that, it might not hurt you. Look at
it this way, you are already dying a little inside just from the grief. Trouble with
smoking them like that is that you can get a little of that fluff in your sinuses and
be utterly convinced the whole cigar is moldy. It will affect the taste of the smoke
so strongly but you could hand it to someone else and they might not even detect it.
You should be OK, though if you clean it....IF NOT, I get your Packers tickets.
